From 9ca99eeca0cfe839c481f3350988e9ed94188567 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Cardona Date: Tue, 3 May 2011 16:57:15 -0700 Subject: mac80211: Check size of a new mesh path table for changes since allocation. Not sure if I'm chasing a ghost here, seems like the mesh_path->size_order needs to be inside an RCU-read section to prevent that value from changing between table allocation and copying. We have observed crashes that might be caused by this. Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona Signed-off-by: John W.
